Windrush Compensation Scheme

The Windrush Compensation Scheme was established by the UK government to provide financial redress to individuals affected by the Windrush scandal. This crisis involved many Commonwealth citizens, primarily from Caribbean countries, who faced wrongful detention, deportation, or loss of jobs and healthcare due to rigidity in immigration rules. The scheme offers compensation to those impacted, recognizing the injustice they suffered and helping to address the harm caused by the government's immigration policies during that period. It aims to support individuals who were unfairly affected and restore their rights and dignity.
